Paranormal Investigator sounds like a cool title for your job. Doesn’t it? So you have decided to embark on this journey of becoming a paranormal investigator. But do you know what paranormal investigator jobs involve? Well, we assume that by now you are aware that we are a team of paranormal consultants and investigators in Chennai, India under the leadership of Mr Praveen Saanker.
What Does Paranormal Investigator Job Involve?
We need a paranormal investigator when we cannot deal with situations or events that don’t make sense to us. People need us when they find themselves in situations when they encounter the supernatural and need someone with the right knowledge and skill to counter such entities. It does not matter what you believe in or how much education you have.
Our help is always required to find out the reason behind supernatural occurrences and entities. Whenever people find themselves in such an environment or a place, they are too scared because they don’t know what’s in store for them. They don’t see the spirit or the ghost’s intention, which gives them a feeling of fear. This fear is something these entities use against us to make us feel uncomfortable and scared. This is where we come into play.
Paranormal Investigator Job is to Find the “Why” Behind Things
A paranormal researcher’s job is to find out the reason behind any supernatural occurrences. In addition, to triangulate the area where the spirit is. And then try to communicate with these entities to find out why they are here. To do all of this, a paranormal researcher uses equipment such as EMF detectors, thermal cameras, etc. But the most important thing he uses is his experience.
Experience plays a very vital role in a paranormal investigator job. We are taught to keep our minds open and aware since we start learning the art. A paranormal investigator uses his mind to register everything in his life and the people around him. We also are to be aware of the environment as it helps us greatly to perform our job. Sometimes having a connection with the environment also allows us to communicate with the supernatural entities. It helps us find the exact location where they reside and provides us with the right frequency and channel to converse.
Paranormal Investigator Job is To Investigate Two Types of Events
The job of a paranormal investigator involves investigating mainly two types of events. One is the paranormal event and the other consists of the supernatural occurrences. Now, to an ordinary person, these two might seem the same, but there is a subtle difference between them, and one should not confuse the two.
Paranormal cases comprise of the events that can be quantified. A paranormal investigator job is to record and analyze these events. These events happen in close proximity to us and the lives we live. Simultaneously, a supernatural event is something like an undetermined event and can be termed as a bizarre thing. This essentially means that you can see and feel these events, but you can not explain them to anyone as there are no explanations available. Now let us give you a basic understanding of what paranormal events do we (paranormal investigators) investigate:
Spirits/Ghosts/External Entities
A paranormal investigator job involves ghosts, to begin with. Ghosts are what we call the remains of a living human being. These are the entities that refuse to pass on to the other side after their clinical death. This type of activity is the most reported, and most people believe in them. Activity by a ghost is further classified into – possession and regular haunting.
Possession
Possession takes place when a spirit or a ghost takes control of the soul of a living being. In this kind of activity, the spirit takes control of a human’s energy and becomes a part of him. This is dangerous as it can physically and mentally hurt the victim and make him lose control. In a paranormal investigator job, he/she tries to tap into the energy that is causing trouble and tries to alleviate the fear among the victims.
Another type of paranormal activity involving spirits is known as haunting. In a haunting, there are visits by spirits or ghosts. The spirit can be intelligent or otherwise, depending upon its type. Haunting can be terrifying for anyone. So, to help with that, we are called upon to look into the area where such things are happening and ask the spirit to leave the victims alone.
Sorcery/Witchcraft
There are times when there is a sorcery case, and we are asked to investigate the victim or a place. This is another of the paranormal investigator job profiles. Now, witchcraft is of two types – black magic and white magic. Black magic is done for mala fide purposes and is usually harmful to the victim. In contrast, white magic is something that is performed for someone’s benefit and is generally done for the well being of the person. In white magic, there is consent by the person in most cases.
Unidentified Flying Objects/Kidnapping
If you are someone who believes in UFOs and aliens, then this would surely appeal to you. Numerous people believe in extraterrestrial species and have the belief that we are not alone in the universe. Paranormal researchers also study the aspects related to UFO spottings and alleged cases of abduction by aliens. This paranormal research branch is referred to as UFOlogy and has gained a lot of popularity among new researchers.
There are accounts of people that suggest that they have had an alien encounter. These events are unverified in most cases and don’t offer much evidence. Hence, we also study and analyze such circumstances if it interests us or an urgent need to do so.
Bizarre Creatures
We are sure you must have heard about the legend of the ‘Bigfoot.’ A creature found in the snowy regions. Just like this, there are several accounts by people of different types of species that are unknown to humankind. It means that there is a new species for a biologist, but for a paranormal researcher, it can be anything. Remember what I said earlier? Keep your mind open. For us, it is worth the investigation as the thing is unknown. It is a shot in the dark. But what can we do? After all, shooting in the dark is the job of a paranormal investigator.
My advice to you
Please remember that any physical or emotional discomforts a person experiences can mostly be due to various diseases or emotional conditions he or she is going through. I have seen that majority of cases do not involve paranormal activity of any kind. Paranormal events are extremely rare occurrences. Hence your problems should be first brought to the notice of a qualified medical practitioner. I have often seen that the line between borderline personality disorders or other psychiatric disorders and “spirit possession” is thin. Hence a good paranormal investigator should advise his clients that professional medical care is the first solution or remedy for any physical or emotional discomfort.
Remember, you need to be a sceptic first to develop into a paranormal investigator. You need to rule out every single scientific possibility that is known to mankind to identify anything that is paranormal. Hence travel through the path of modern science, explore and unravel all facts using data and what cannot be explained through science is what we need to explore more through the paranormal arena. Most of your clients may feel desperate due to whatever they are going through. It’s your duty to act responsibly. Guide them through the path of modern science. Refrain from being a doctor or healer. There are qualified medical practitioners out there who can do their job well. Avoid any forms of advice on religious or cultural rituals or for that matter any ritualistic practices.
